What are the 'lingua franca's of the world? I.e., what are the best languages to know?
Q. English is obviously one. What else? Spanish (most of the Americas, Spain) Arabic (most of the middle east, parts of Africa). French (parts of Africa, France, Haiti, Lebanon) Chinese? (Mandarin v Cantonese?) Russian? (former Soviet bloc) I guess, what I'm asking, if you could study five languages (with no consideration other than practicality), what would they be? How many speakers of Hindi are there? My impression was always that India had a pretty diverse mix of languages, such that English was the preferable lingua franca. Anyway, thanks for input! I speak a little German and a little Japanese, but I'm hoping to get at least roughly conversational in a few more.

And in 2008 there has been a motion from India to make Hindi one of the official languages of the United Nations.
